    Take care Rick, you'll get through this. My sister has the same issue and has learned how to "carefully" deal with it. And remember, they say that growing old is not for sissies

    CUCV Battery Recommendations

    Groupe 31 is the way to go. Any brand would be just fine. They are a used in many of the over the road trucks and are very dependable. I used "off the shelf" NAPA brand for my ride, and they have been in my M1009 since 2013 and still going strong. Expect to pay about $150 each and I strongly...
